SUMMARY:Doing Development Differently: Lessons from BRAC on Local Leadersh
 ip and Global Scale
LOCATION:Gunn Building (SIEPR) Koret-Taube Conference Center\, 366 Galvez 
 Street\, Stanford\, CA 94305
DESCRIPTION:Foreign aid is declining amid overlapping global crises\, plac
 ing significant pressure on the development sector. Rather than retreat o
 r preserve approaches that no longer meet the moment\, development leader
 s must rethink how change is funded and delivered\, with greater emphasis
  on local leadership\, strong systems\, and collaboration rooted in the r
 ealities of the Global South.\n\nThe King Center on Global Development we
 lcomes Asif Saleh\, Executive Director of BRAC\, one of the world’s large
 st development organizations\, for a conversation on how global developme
 nt is evolving with aid and philanthropy. Drawing on BRAC’s experience\, 
 Saleh will offer a practical\, grounded perspective on how the sector can
  do development differently: shifting power closer to communities\, build
 ing durable local capacity\, and advancing solutions that can continue to
  deliver impact amid a changing aid landscape.\n\nDinner will be served.\
 n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nAsif Saleh is the executive director of BRAC\, b
 ringing leadership experience across the private\, public\, and nonprofit
